<p><h2>THE HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN (CH. 6 : 15-23)</h2>

<SUP class="vnum">15</SUP> Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. 
<SUP class="vnum">16</SUP> Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 
<SUP class="vnum">17</SUP> got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 
<SUP class="vnum">18</SUP> Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. 
<SUP class="vnum">19</SUP> So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. 
<SUP class="vnum">20</SUP> But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 
<SUP class="vnum">21</SUP> Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
<SUP class="vnum">22</SUP> On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone— 
<SUP class="vnum">23</SUP> however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks— 

<p>Glory to God forever. <b>Amen</b>.
